Adolescence is stated by an American psychologist as the period of "storm and stress of one's life."

Physical changes during adolescence are known as puberty. Adolescent girl's experiences menstruation during this stage. Adolescent boy's experiences seminal emission. Further, adolescents also experience sudden bodily changes like growth of pubic hair in different parts of the body like under arms etc. Adolescent boy's also experiences sudden change in their voice. It is to be noted here that during adolescence the young boys and girls gets more attached towards each other. They become more curios to know about the opposite sex.

They choose their own ideal in their life that they consider it as their ideal source and thus follow the path as has been laid out by their ideal hero. Adolescents are moreover socially conscious people. They cannot stand any injustice meted out to them. It is necessary to be noted out here that juvenile delinquency is found to be very prone during the stage of adolescence.
